Pork, Cabbage & Rice

Pork, Cabbage & Rice

A quick, spicy stir-fry of ground pork with shredded cabbage, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce, served over steamed rice.

Prep: 10 min Cook: 20 min Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • About 1/4 to 1/2 head of cabbage, shredded (use a food processor)
  • 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, finely diced
  • 1-2 jalapeño, serrano, or arbol chillies, finely chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 spring onions, chopped
  • Rice (cooked in a rice cooker)

Instructions

  1. Start the rice in a rice cooker before you begin cooking.
  2. Brown the ground pork in a large saucepan or wok over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks.
  3. Once the pork is almost browned, add the garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Shred the cabbage in a food processor and add to the pork.
  5. Finely chop the chillies and add to the pan.
  6. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir everything together and cook for a further 3-5 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still has some bite.
  7. Serve over rice, sprinkled generously with chopped spring onions.

Notes

  • Heat level: Jalapeños for mild, serranos for medium, arbol chillies for serious heat. Mix and match.
  • Cabbage: A food processor makes shredding very quick — you want small enough pieces to cook fast but not complete mush.
  • Soy sauce: Start with 2 tablespoons and taste before adding more — soy sauces vary in saltiness.
